  • 41. Measuring price change for used vehicles in the Canadian Consumer Price Index
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022008
    Description:

    The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) accounts for the sale of used vehicles by including a net expenditure weight for used vehicles in the index for the purchase of passenger vehicles. However, price changes for new cars were used as a proxy for used cars to ensure price change for this product was still covered to the best extent possible. The research paper outlines the proposed plan for introducing used vehicle prices, including data and methods. With the introduction of the 2021 CPI basket, a new approach for measuring price change in used vehicles is recommended to replace the previous method of measuring used vehicles price change by proxy.

  • 46. Do producer prices predict consumer prices?
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022001
    Description:

    There has been a persistent curiosity about the predictability of consumer price inflation by looking at the pass-through effect of prices from earlier stages of production. The theory is that the prices of consumer items, particularly goods, respond to cost pressures from the inputs to production. This paper examines in particular a limited portion of the value chain, namely the predictive power of producer prices of goods as measured by the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI) on consumer prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2021017
    Description:

    Decisions by economic agents, such as firms and consumers, depend on their views about inflation. Consumers’ views of inflation, are systematically higher than inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and more so for certain demographic groups. While measurement factors can explain part of this gap, behavioral factors appear to play a larger role.
